I want to give a massive shoutout to the Kiss Me in New York team. Working with Vincent to set up a surprise shoot for our engagement this past weekend in NYC was an absolute delight.
Our photographer, Blaine, did an extraordinary job capturing the magical moment when I proposed to my (now) fiancée in Central Park. Blaine went above and beyond, scouting the perfect location and keeping me updated every step of the way. His dedication truly made all the difference.
Blaine made us feel completely at ease during the post-proposal photoshoot. The Kiss Me in New York team has an incredible talent for capturing stunning candid shots while seamlessly blending into the surroundings. Our engagement photos are breathtaking; Central Park’s iconic backdrop is already picturesque, but Blaine’s skill elevated the images to true masterpieces, with our emotions beautifully shining through.
We will forever cherish these exquisite engagement photos. If you want your special occasion immortalized through dazzling photography, look no further than Kiss Me in New York. We are profoundly grateful to them for helping us preserve such a magical chapter of our lives.

Think of your lead photographer as your seasoned and caring navigator through this exciting journey. They’re here to grasp your unique vision and preferences, collaborate with your proposal planner, and offer expert proposal advice for a memorable experience.
What is your photographer’s experience with surprise proposals?
While we’re modest by nature, it’s fair to say that our team stands unequaled in experience when it comes to proposals. You might wonder why we’re so confident. The answer is simple: we’ve planned and captured thousands of marriage proposals across the globe, especially in the City of Love, making us a go-to name for premium engagement photography.
Our success lies in flawless planning—ensuring seamless coordination with live location updates via WhatsApp, recognizing you quickly by your attire from a distance, aligning with your photography style preferences, reviewing timelines and concepts, and so much more.
Being entrusted to capture such a special moment is a tremendous honor and a deeply treasured responsibility.
How do your photographers guarantee discretion during (and after) the proposal?
Discretion is our middle name when capturing the magic of a proposal moment. We ensure you and our team are so thoroughly prepared that every step, from timing to execution to preferences, is crystal clear. This lets you fully immerse yourself in your engagement, knowing we’re discreetly capturing every beautiful moment from the sidelines.
We’re also privileged to collaborate with high-profile and celebrity clients for whom privacy is paramount. Discretion is our top priority before, during, or after the engagement. We often accommodate requests to sign NDAs, guaranteeing that your private moments remain just that—entirely yours.
How much does your proposal photography cost, and what’s included in your packages?
Every engagement sparkles with unique charm and needs like a wedding, so we tailor our quotes accordingly. Our pricing reflects your choice of proposal photographer, the length of your session, any potential travels to dreamy destinations, and the option to include prints, albums, and other keepsakes.
Vincent’s collections begin at a friendly rate of USD 650 per hour, with a minimum of two hours reserved to beautifully narrate your love story.
Expect 15 exquisitely edited, high-resolution photos for every hour of photography coverage. They are watermark-free, include printing rights, and are ready to be cherished, framed, and shared with family and friends.
Turnaround time: how and when will I receive the photos?
Galleries are edited on a first-come, first-served basis. Yet, your edited NYC proposal photos will usually be ready within 7-10 days following your engagement and delivered through a digital proofing gallery.
Eager to revisit those magical moments a bit sooner? We completely understand, and you have the option to accelerate the process by upgrading to our super-fast rush editing service, typically completed in under 48 hours, to move ahead of the regular queue.
Are all photos from the shoot included? Will my images be watermarked?
Get ready to be dazzled by a curated collection of beautifully edited, watermark-free pictures from your engagement—approximately 15 beautiful photos per hour of coverage.
Our selection process typically excludes shots marred by squinting, unflattering expressions, or blur, ensuring you receive only the crème de la crème.
We understand the challenge of choosing from many precious moments; sometimes, you just want more. Here’s some fantastic news: you can easily add extra edited pictures from your proofing gallery at just USD 10 per image. And for those who simply want it all, we offer the possibility to purchase all the unedited, high-resolution gems from your proposal.
How will my engagement photos be edited?
Our talented editors are like wizards, eager to cast a happy spell over your engagement photos. Most edits will mirror the distinctive style you’ve seen on our website.
Still, we’re equally excited to create stunning black-and-white edits that exude timeless sophistication with deep blacks and pure whites—no filters, just skill.
If you’re dreaming of a specific look- a sleeker silhouette, perfect skin, or anything else your heart desires- consider it done! Speak to your studio managers about the range of editing solutions available. We’re here to help.
How do you handle crowded or public locations?
Managing crowded, public locations for surprise proposals in the Big Apple is all part of the adventure. The City’s lively energy only adds to the enchantment, but we recognize the importance of that perfect, intimate moment.
We recommend a sunrise proposal for popular spots like the Brooklyn Bridge or Central Park, allowing for relative serenity as the City wakes up.
Alternatively, enlisting a helpful associate to subtly manage the area during your significant moment can make all the difference.
However, for those desiring ultimate privacy and control, securing an exclusive venue is your best bet. This approach ensures a blissfully uninterrupted celebration with your love.
What is your policy on rescheduling or cancellations?
Life can be unpredictable; even the most meticulously laid plans can encounter unexpected twists. From airport snags and canceled flights to visa hitches, health concerns, pregnancy, work conflicts, or the whims of weather, if you need to cancel or reschedule your engagement, rest assured—our team is here, ready to support you in every way possible.
While we always aim to meet your needs and might sometimes manage to shift dates, our steadfast policy does not permit refunds for cancellations. Booking your day means our photographer pledges their heart and time to you alone, often saying no to other opportunities to guarantee you their full commitment.
Kiss Me In New York is truly the best choice in NYC. Their professionalism is quite frankly incredible, and Vincent and Cengiz did an amazing job! There’s no limit to their brilliantly creative ideas, ensuring you’re left with stunning memories of you and your loved one. More than anything, they bring an oversized sense of fun and genuinely care about their clients. A huge THANK YOU to the team for everything! We’re absolutely thrilled with our photos and film. Wholeheartedly recommended
Rodrigo Reyes!
